\n The venerable Delbert McClinton is a legend among Texas r
oots music afficionados\, not only for his amazing longevity\, but for his
ability to combine country\, blues\, soul\, and rock &amp\; roll as if th
ere were no distinctions between any of them in the best time-honored Texa
s tradition.

\n

\n If you ask the critics about Delbert'\;s dynami
c vocals and harmonica style\, you'\;ll hear descriptions ranging from
'\;honky-tonk\,'\; '\;blue-eyed soul\,'\; and '\;Texas stom
p'\; to '\;country rock'\; and '\;blues.'\; Delbert'\;s
music rebels against traditional categorization\, ask him what kind of mus
ic he plays and he'\;ll say\, &quot\;Fun music.&quot\;

\n

\n For M
cClinton fans\, this will be a major cause to celebrate. For the uninitiat
ed\, this is as fine a place as any to be introduced to some gritty Texas
rhythm &amp\; blues\, hard honky tonk blues\, slippery acoustic country\,
and killer funky white boy Southern soul.

\n

\n At the end of the day
\, three-time Grammy winner Delbert McClinton is the quintessential Texas
roadhouse rocker\, applying his well-traveled rasp to songs from the hard-
loving intersections of blues\, country and soul.
